About this file
The document is an Additional Costs Form for a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services solicitation by the City of Pasadena, California. The procurement seeks a vendor to establish a tenant-resident 24x7x365 MDR service within the City's Microsoft 365 tenant, focusing initially on endpoint protection and Microsoft-native telemetry with future expansion potential. The service will provide full operational control of the Security Operations Center (SOC) function, including detection, response, and tuning activities, with the goal of enabling internal teams to focus on higher-tier analysis and strategic initiatives.
The Additional Costs Form provides guidance for vendors to submit optional software licensing and value-added services separately from the main price proposal. Vendors are instructed to use a specific Excel template to detail additional Microsoft and non-Microsoft licenses, including products like Microsoft Defender for Identity, Sentinel, and Adobe Acrobat Professional. The form also allows vendors to propose supplementary services such as Threat Hunting, Forensic Investigation Support, Incident Response Retainer, Compliance-Specific Reporting, and Mobile Device Onboarding. The City anticipates additional Microsoft licensing requirements but notes that license procurement will be completed through their existing Enterprise Agreement, and vendors must clearly identify these requirements in their proposal.
